Publisher's Synopsis
Relationships, growing up, change, gender identity, becoming an adult-jesus how do we, any of us, ever make it past fifteen, you might ask. Jess Eternamente Fraga explores this journey, the wounds, the angel who must drag her wings through the dirt, all the grown-up troubles that keep us grounded and perhaps never able to reach our full potential as self-realized individuals. This collection of very personal, intimate poems will enter you in ways you never thought poetry could. The magnificent use of figurative language elevates the material from the personal to the universal, as you recognize yourself-young, confused, wounded-inside these pages, just as the author, no doubt, made strides in finding her "self" while writing it.-Mario Rene Padilla
